Re: member logout and attachment options not available
" as there is no profile or logout button showing for user.. i cant directly switch to admin account."
"Sign Out" is found in dropdown menu from your profile image - top right of screen
or use browser incognito mode, that way you can work with 2 accounts at the same time.

Infinite signin loop on mobile browser
I'm using Vanilla 2.2, jsConnect 1.5.3 and jsConnect Auto SignIn 0.1.8b
JS connect is working through desktop browsers. However, on iOS Safari, the signin seems to get caught in an infinite redirect loop, and the user is not signed in. Oddly, this issue on the mobile browser seems to affect the new user's subsequent login attempts on the desktop, which also get trapped in a redirect loop. In the Users table, it appears that the user record has been created but as a Guest, and not Registered.
Any suggestions would be appreciated
Re: Forum stats not showing on the dashboard
Thanks @Andrew .
I've re-enabled IPv6 support on my host and let it run for a few days, and I don't see any problems yet. Of course, I don't really have control of what PHP does in the background when transmitting these packets so I can't draw any conclusions, but I'll monitor the stats and get back to you if I see any indication of the problem coming back.

Re: How to edit 'Howdy Stranger' Sign up message?
vrijvlinder already linked to a very detailed tutorial. Changing an existing file should never be done, @kopna
From time to time the official language files get updated. As soon as you want to benefit from that updated language file, you will overwrite your customizations if you have done them in the original file.
It might not be much work to do to port your customizations on every update, but it is much safer to do the initial step to simply do it right. All that is needed is one file only. That is not much work and will potentially safe you a lot of trouble afterwards.

Re: New discussions posted by an Admin not showing (or not seen) on Members or Guest mode.
Hi @Kaspar, I followed the guide in the link and the problems have been solved.
Now, I can see the categories and posts both when in user mode and guest mode. Thanks a lot.
Here's a screenshot of the changes I made to PHP settings in my cpanel.

Re: Could I delete a hundred of spam users in one time?
You'd have to do it in the database directly.
Always back up your database before editing it.

You don't rename them.
You delete them.

It is in whichever directory you installed your Vanilla files.

Re: Forum stats not showing on the dashboard
I filed a support ticket on your behalf. I'm familiar with the technical underpinnings so I attempted to speed things along with information (read: I guessed at the cause) if they choose to pursue it. I will update here if anything comes of it.

Re: Forum stats not showing on the dashboard
After digging deeper into this issue, I found that the statistics server itself was missing data after august 24th. The analytics requests the forum was sending was giving the error message 'Data too long for column 'LastIP' at row 1|Gdn_Database|Query|insert into GDN_RemoteSite'. Some more digging reveals that LastIP is not something sent along with the outgoing request, so I assume this is generated on the analytic server side (which makes sense).
This lead me to examine my network configuration closer, and I realized that I had IPv6 enabled on the server. And even though the forum is currently served over IPv4 only (and the hostname only resolves to a v4 address), apparently this background transmission to the analytics server happened over IPv6. And that seems to much for it to handle apparently.
I was in a position where disabling IPv6 wasn't a problem, and immediately upon disabling it, the statistics server started giving me status 200 instead of 500 on the requests. I also noticed that a bunch of data immediately populated in the graphs, although I am still missing some recent data, so I'll just keep an eye on it for now. The graph seems to be slowly populating. First up to september 8th, and a few minutes later to september 25th, so I guess the rest is forthcoming.
Of course, having to disable IPv6 is a poor workaround for many, since many servers rely on it, but I guess there might be a way to force PHP to stick to v4 one way or another. And I have no idea why it stopped working on the day it did. I've had IPv6 enabled on this server for many months, and checking my update history, there were no updates on or around that time period either. Did the analytic server DNS got updated to inlcude an IPv6 address for the domain name around this time? The time differences between me and @peterlu seems to be a bit long for DNS caching, but perhaps...
